Product Information

The Prismo holds all the coffee in the brewing chamber until you press down on the plunger, giving you a full immersion brew without the leaks.

For example, some people say that you must use a metal mesh filter. Others say they can get the same result with a paper filter.Aeropress's Flow control filter cap is compatible with both metal and paper filters as standard, whether you want to use them individually or together. With this cap, you'll be able to channel your inner barista and whip up some espresso-like crema or even experiment with coarser-ground coffee .

The cap promises espresso-like crema if you use finely ground coffee, but you can also experiment with coarser-ground coffee and use long steeping times, similar as to what many coffee geeks do with the Prismo.No-Drip Seal — Allows you to brew full-immersion coffee without having to worry about coffee draining prematurely mid-brew. However, a more realistic description of the product is that it is AeroPress’ own version of what the Prismo is doing. According to the company, the Flow Control Filter Cap is designed to elevate your coffee brewing game by using a pressure-actuated valve to eliminate drip-through and maximize control over the brewing process.

I also made a regular AeroPress batch of coffee using my typical everyday inverted AeroPress recipe and a batch the original AeroPress standard way, non-inverted.I have been a coffee geek since I started home roasting more than a decade ago. Since then, coffee has taken me on countless adventures: From ancient coffee ceremonies in Ethiopia to the volcanos of Sumatra. Unfortunately, the Prismo was rather underwhelming—even in comparison to the regular AeroPress method. Maybe the measurements ( 20 grams coffee: 50 ml water) in the recipe were a bit off- changing the ratio is probably worth exploring Verdict – Does the Fellow Prismo Deliver as Advertised? We here at Fellow love espresso, but sometimes we don’t have access to a good espresso machine, and the team is left to walk to the nearest coffee shop. Since we’re a coffee product company (and that coffee shop is over a mile away), we figured we should probably solve this problem. Personally, I favor clarity (so that means paper filtration), but if you like something else, then by all means go ahead.

Fellow Prismo Filter Quality: It's reported that the metal filter on the Prismo can let a little grit through, but a quality grinder and proper grind size can reduce this. If you prefer a full bodied coffee and enjoy darker roasts the paper filter option is probably the way to go. To brew espresso-style coffee with Prismo and AeroPress®, it’s as easy as making any other coffee with AeroPress® The extracted coffee isn’t quite espresso, but it is close, and it’s probably the best espresso-style coffee you will ever get out of the AeroPress. Cleaning The Prismo Pour slowly, and be as precise as possible. Even a couple grams at this ratio can throw off the flavor of the shot. Disclaimer: I received the Prismo from Fellow for free in exchange for an honest review and some photographs.

From my tests, it does seem to make a decent enough “espresso-style” coffee with a detectable crema that’s not usually produced using the standard filter attachment. The Fellow Prismo has become more popular to ensure that no coffee is dripping out of the AeroPress, rather than an espresso gadget. whereas Seattle Coffee Gear in their article titled “ Coffee & Tea 101 | What is Crema?” goes a little more in-depth and says By the way; the Prismo can be used with or without a paper filter – depending on your preference.
